Shelley is ready to build on the incredible work of our current president, Denise Starling, and keep our momentum going strong ?? After meeting fellow president-elects from across the state, she’s more excited than ever for the difference we’ll continue making in our communities—and around the world! #rotaryleadership #serviceaboveself #peachstatepets
